About Carpe Diem
The grapes for Carpe Diem Chardonnay and Pinot Noir are selected from the Firepeak vineyard, nestled in the picturesque Edna Valley, four miles from the Pacific Ocean. This cool coastal climate allows for one of the longest growing seasons in California. The vineyard lies at the base of the Islay Mountains, the final peak in an old volcanic chain.
